149.9db and still going strong~ ouch~!

Got a call yesterday from my friend Keong~ and ask me to go to his shop asap~ and 15 minutes later~ and this was i saw......

it's his supplier's demo car~ a kancil to be accurate~ with 3002 watts RMS on board and 4 big ass 15" custom made subwoofer for SPL competition. 

And this baby just pump-ed out 149.9db@3ft during the competition in Johor last month.

That's what i heard from 50ft away from keong's shop~ (>_<) damn it's loud~

A gift from Toyota~

Uncle in Ipoh found a 'relic' while cleaning his office desk. A key chain which toyota gives away with it's products.

It actually works in some way. lol~ the shaft of the miniature absorbers did retract into the body. ^^~

Skimming a disc~ with your car's own power~

Was in PohNee's place this afternoon~ just hanging around (T_T) since business is slow this festive season....~ And i finally meet the brake disc skimming fella for the first time~ ^^

* only to find out you can actually buy this tools off the shelf.... *_*

 The tools is secured to the two lugs where the original brake caliper were.

 then set the correct off sets for both carbide steel knife for the both side.

 where the knifes will only 'touch' the disc a bit~ then start your engine~ and set in to 3~4th gear and let it maintain rev 2~3k~ and slowly 'screw' in the knifes~ 

and slowly repeat the skimming process until the surface is even~  

walla~ nice clean-n-flat surface~ 

How Differential Gear works (BEST Tutorial)

Just sharing an excellent tutorial on how a differential work from 1930's~ simple and easy to understand~

LSD- Fix?? or not.... (>_<)~

Finally i had time to took apart the LSD to see what's cause of the non-locking-up issue~

And as always~ there's a miss understanding where the non TRD type LSD on AE86 axle is 1.5 way~ 

But from Toyota website, there's only 2-way LSD and non-LSD type differential installed on AE86. And it was conformed by the two sloped side pressure plate.

And 3 tiny whinny clutch in it~ XD~ 

And i wanna test something on the LSD, as making some groove on it~ see if it will improved the 'clutch' power~ 

another view~

And 3mm spacer added to the spring to increase the pre-load on the clutches~

And where i found out that it might be the culprit which causes the problem. A shim which press on the pinion gear which press on the clutches system wasn't installed correctly...hm~ seems like someone had fiddle with this LSD before~ lol~ but with a little skim and hammer, it's back to it's good stage to installed back to the LSD~

Walla~ everything put back to it's own place~ hopefully can test it out on the next change i took apart mango's axle~ 

Will post the result by then~ stay tune ^^~~~ please bare with my bad narration~ hahaha~ 

Flip~ Flip~ Away~

After the slight incident (click here) a few weeks ago~ a 95feet long skid mark (ja~ i went and measured it~ XD) had created two flat spot @ the front tyre~ And mango was galloping like a pony since then~ (>_<)

So i finally took mango and went to transfer the front tyre to the rear rim (can't swap it for the rims is 7jj offset +8 in front and 7.5jj +12 rear~) 

Since mango had all his 4 legs off the ground~ i might as well do a little inspections to the suspension and breaking systems~

The front strut did looks like it had took a lot of thrashing from 3 year+ of driving and track events~

The new brake-pad still had a good 50% left~ so, no worries there~

The rear disc looks like it had slight rust residue on it, shown that the caliper clamping power wasn't strong enough. After much research after the incident, i found out that there's a proportionate valve in front of the chassis which limited the brake fluid's flow to the rear caliper. Will had it removed later when send to McGuyver for tunings.

And there's the galloping pony true face. Not showing well on the picture. But it's a 3mm thinner than the rubber around it~ (^o^) actually a bit heart-aching seeing it like that~
